[Yonhap News]      <\/p>\n<p refid=\"2\">&#8220;Lunch with Buffet,&#8221; an annual charity event by Warren Buffett (95), chairman of Berkshire Hathaway (hereinafter referred to as Berkshire), called &#8220;the guru of investment,&#8221; will be revived after four years.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"3\">According to Reuters on the 15th (local time), a lunch opportunity with Buffett at a charity auction on eBay was sold to a bidder for $9 million,100 (about 13.5 billion won) the day before, and the bidder&#8217;s identity has not yet been disclosed.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"4\">Buffett has donated the event&#8217;s winning bid every year since 2000 to the Glide Foundation, a support group for the poor in San Francisco, and last stopped in 2022.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"5\">The 2022 auction was sold for $19 million (about 28.5 billion won), the highest price ever. The accumulated fundraising amount exceeds 50 million dollars (about 75 billion won).<\/p>\n<p refid=\"6\">Lunch with Buffett will take place on June 24 in Omaha, Nebraska, where Berkshire&#8217;s headquarters and Buffett&#8217;s home are located.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"7\">In addition to the Glide Foundation, the proceeds from this year&#8217;s event will also go to the &#8220;It Run and Play Foundation,&#8221; a charity founded by Stephen Curry, a star star of the NBA&#8217;s Golden State Warriors, and his spouse Aisha Curry.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"8\">Buffett stepped down as Berkshire CEO late last year and handed over the CEO position to Greg Able. However, it has been stated that it is still directly involved in investment while maintaining the position of chairman of the board of directors.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"9\">Meanwhile, Berkshire, led by Able CEO, bought a large stake in Delta Air Lines, a U.S. airline, in the first quarter.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"10\">According to Berkshire&#8217;s share status data (Form 13F), Berkshire reported about $2.6 billion (about 3.9 trillion won) worth of Delta Air Lines shares as of the end of March.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"11\">Berkshire previously invested in airline stocks and sold them all after the pandemic in 2020.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"12\">Macy&#8217;s, a U.S. department store chain, has also been newly incorporated, worth about $55 million.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"13\">Berkshire also reported buying about 40 million more shares of Google parent Alphabet. Berkshire has been buying Alphabet shares since last year ahead of Buffett&#8217;s retirement as CEO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\uc0ac\uc9c4 \ud655\ub300 Berkshire Hathaway Chairman Warren Buffett in 2018.
